The Darn Tough Style 1987 Women’s Light Hiker Quarter Lightweight Cushion Sock is a women’s-sized quarter-height merino wool sock knit with light cushion under the foot. The lighter cushion placement makes it a warm-weather hiking sock — less insulation, more breathability, less bulk inside a trail shoe or low-top boot. True Seamless toe construction removes the toe seam.
Quarter height sits just above the ankle, and the Slate colorway a cool blue-gray that reads as a neutral. The 54% nylon / 43% merino wool / 3% Lycra blend shifts the wool content slightly lower than the midweight line, which is why this sock dries faster and breathes better for summer backpacking, trail running, and day hikes in warmer climates.
Darn Tough knits every pair at their family mill in Northfield, Vermont. Lifetime guarantee — if the sock ever fails, it gets replaced.
